KINGFISHER CITY commission voted unanimously Wednesday to award a contract to Well- Co in the amount of $26,750 to repair about 275 feet of the eastbound lane and 50 feet of the westbound lane of Overstreet west of 13th Street. Recent extreme weather events have accelerated the deterioration of the roadway beyond the ability of city crews to make repairs. The project scope includes removing and hauling off old asphalt, repairing the base foundation and replacing the surface with six inches of concrete plus curbs and guttering. Two tinhorns also will be replaced. WellCo’s quote was the lowest of three submitted, including $28,600 from Champion Ops and $31,800 from Bollenbach Construction. [Photo Provided]

I never have liked money. Don’t get me wrong, I love having a big balance at the bank and all the nice things that money can buy; it’s the actual physical thing I hate. Paper money is filthy and coins just weigh you down. That’s why my wife handles all cash transactions and why I only carry one $20 bill in my wallet as “carrying around money” for emergencies. It’s the same $20 I’ve had for decades now and I think if I took it out of my pocket Andrew Jackson would squint in the sunlight and the brittle paper would crumble into a thousand tiny pieces.
